Given the closed-loop system in the figure with a nonlinearity N(e) and a lead (PD controller) as shown in the figure.
(a) For a step input r(t) = A1(t):
i. Sketch the phase portrait of the system in terms of e and e.
ii. Draw the response of the system y(t), assuming zero initial conditions, i.e. y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 0.
(b) Repeat (a) for a ramp input r(t) = vt.
